We're not spoiled just because we live near campus. Y'all could always move closer to Mecca, we'd be happy to have you. Besides you already had a home game this year @OM.

I'm from the Cedar Bluff/Bearden area -- I couldn't be anymore "mecca" if I tryed

We just finished playing the last game of the season in Nashville. We play the first game of next season in Nashville and the last bowl game we played in was in Nashville.

IMO, outside of location, there's more upside going to Charlotte or Memphis than there is Nashville.

Make it happen. I want to go to Charlotte

I live in Memphis and I've still gone to three home games and @Ole Miss.

6 hours isn't that bad of a drive, but I'll be very happy with a Liberty bowl.

We are going to end up there, because none of the other SEC schools want to be there and we won't mind.

They might as well start selling tickets.

I don't think Arky minds going there.

That's what I meant. Tennessee has been struggling to make bowl games, so when they finally get bowl eligible fans will travel to it. As opposed to teams who make it to a bowl every year like A&M or LSU.

Liberty Bowl: Vols "The team we want"
They probably want fans that will travel to the game. Tennessee is the best bet there.

Except for those 9,000 fans that live close.

It a dude and he's a count.
